shows diversity because it is a twist on the classic story of Cinderella.
The story of The Egyptian
Cinderella shows kids the difference in cultures especially if they know the original version of Cinderella. Students can learn more about the Egyptain heritage including more about the geography, as well as the Gods. I think if students were to compare and contrast this version to the original students could grasp a better understanding how different cultures can be.

themselves not care what others think. I loved this book! It was hard for Yes me to put it down! Though this book revolves around kids in middle school, it held so many valuable lessons and I found myself relating to it. The book centers around the idea of friendship, a good lesson for anyone of any age to learn about. Not only this, but towards the end it fouses on grief and the lost of a loved one. Though sad, this could be something valuable to teach kids. I recently discovered this book by No Dr. Suess and I absoultety loved it! This is such a great book for kids who are just learning how to read of even for older kids. It not only teaches kids about shapes, but by the end it encourages them to love the skin they are in. I was especially touched by this message because I feel like this is not only something I struggle with, but others as well. I have always been a fan of this No book of poems for the simple reason that Silverstein manages to write poems that are fun, yet have

Each time I read a poem from this book, I find something new about it each time. This book would be great for a poetry unit to show kids the different types of poems and many of the unconventional ways of writing one. Traditional Literature
Pinkney, J., & Andersen, H. C.
(1999). The ugly duckling. New York: Morrow Junior Books.
I gave this book a 5 because
of the message behind it! This is a classic tale that teaches kids to find their inner beauty and what makes them happy in life.
This classic tale of the ugly
duckling shows readers to find their inner beauty. Though it may take us a while to discover our worth, when we do, we will be filled with the utmost happiness. I found the picutures in the book to be interesting and could make a good lesson on how the pictures emphasize the story as a whole.

Charlottes Web has always
been a favorite of mine because it was the first book that taught me about friendship and how love can come from the unlikeliest of people.
This book is a great one to teach
kids about the value of friendship. Wilbur didnt think he had any worth or even any friends until he met Charlotte. This book taught me how you can find love and friendships from the most unlikely of people and just how important friendship is.

I gave this book a 5 because
I felt like its a great book for any age to read! I am twenty years old and I still love to read this book! Not only does this book teach kids to use their imagination, but it also triggers the question of where they find happiness from. For Max, he thought he found happiness and fun in this imaginary world, but realistically he found it in his home.
To me, this book did not have many
conections to the real world which is what made it so great! I feel like this is a wonderful book to teach kids about using their imagination. Aside from imagination it could also teach kids about rhym.

Bradbury, R. (1967). Fahrenheit

Great book that teaches the
valuable lesson of what a world without books and knowledge looks like.
This is possibly one of my favorite
books of all time! This is a great read for older students such as 7/8th graders. It teaches the important lesson of comformity and gives a glimpse into what a world without books and knowledge looks like. Being a book lover and reading about this world only makeme love books more. I remember reading this book when I was younger and loving everything about it. It is such a fantastic book to teach kids about the art of symbolism and imagery.

No initially thought it was going to be about how gum was made, or how it was discovered. Instead, it tells the wonderful story of how a man who thought he couldnt amount to much, exceeded his own expectations and persevered until he succeeded. I feel like this is a great book to teach to any age because it not only has information about how bubble gum was made, but at the end of the book it gives fun facts about gum. This book is about a kid and his No family that have just gone through on earth quake. The book shows not only how an earthquake happens, but how a family and individual can prepare for one.

This is a great book about
deterimination. It retells the story of Effa Manley, an African American woman who stopped at nothing until major league baseball treated Negro League teams with respect and honor. Though a great story, I felt like it could have given more background information about what was happening during this period of history.

influence those around us. The pictures in the book also help to emphasize the overall story and would be great for older kids to anaylize the meaning/symbolism behind the art work. She Loved Baseball is a wonderful book to teach kids about the act of determiniation. Sometimes we are quick to give up because people either tell us to, or they reassure us that that is just how the world works. Effa refused to believe in these answers and did whatever it took to achieve what she believed to be right; equal rights among black and whites in baseball.
